Dear candidate,

Welcome to East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust. We are a pioneering Trust, on an exciting journey of healthcare transformation, with award-winning research and innovation, and a strong team ethos. We’re looking for positive clinical leaders who want to help us deliver first-class patient care to a fascinating and complex population and be part of something special.

As you would expect from a large teaching Trust, we prize training doctors, nurses and other health professionals and we already work closely with local universities and King’s College, University of London. We now have the exciting new opportunity of working with Kent and Medway’s new Medical School, jointly provided by the University of Kent and Canterbury Christchurch University, which opens in September 2020. The Trust has five hospitals providing a wide range of high quality services and opportunities for innovation. The William Harvey Hospital in Ashford has the full range of district general hospital services, as well as regional specialities, including the country’s best performing trauma unit. The Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother Hospital in Margate, also provides district general hospital services, while Kent & Canterbury Hospital in Canterbury is a specialist services hub which provides adult medical care, inpatient renal, urology and vascular services and robotic surgery. Our new hospital in Dover, the Buckland, and Royal Victoria Hospital, Folkestone, provide a variety of outpatient, diagnostic and minor injury services, alongside a range of services throughout the local area. We have a clear clinically-led strategy to transform secondary care in east Kent to deliver outstanding standards across all specialties which build services around the characteristics of our patients and a commitment to refreshing our estate and facilities. We support clinicians who see opportunities to make tertiary care available locally for our population, and we have a strong research ethic as a high recruiter to research studies. Our vision is to provide ‘great healthcare from great people’, and we are proud of what we have achieved to date for our population and are excited about what’s to come. If you would like to be part of this exciting journey, your rewarding work-life will be complemented by the advantages of living in the Garden of England, with a choice of rural, seaside and picturesque places to enjoy and live in, alongside the essentials like excellent schools and easy access to London – and Europe. In March 2018 the Government and Health Education England announced that a joint bid by Canterbury Christ Church University and the University of Kent to establish a medical school was successful. The medical school opens its doors in September 2020, offering 100 undergraduate medical places on a yearly basis. The five year programme will be taught at the Canterbury campuses of both universities with medical placements within Primary, Community and Secondary Care across Kent and Medway. The Kent & Medway Medical School (KMMS) will be Kent and Medway’s first ever medical school, bringing together the existing centres of excellence in health and medical education provided by the two universities, and local healthcare organisations such as East Kent Hospitals University Foundation Trust. It will offer a new model of patient-focused medical education. The KMMS will also play a key part of the solution to the challenges of recruiting and retaining medical professionals for this region. You will have the chance to be there at the start of what is expected to be an exciting and productive relationship and help to shape the Drs of the future.

One of the largest acute trusts in England, we have a predicted turnover of almost £600 million. We serve a population of 695,000 people in East Kent and over a million through our regional services, employ 7,950 staff and have 1,000 beds across three main hospital sites.

If you think this could be the start of something special, please apply as quickly as possible because we will close the advert for this job once we’ve received sufficient applications. If you have a disability or long-term health problem, we are committed to offering reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process and employment. If you would like more information or support, please contact the Resourcing Team on 01227 866450 or resourcing@nhs.net, who will be happy to help.

Job Description

THE URGENT AND EMERGENCY CARE, CARE GROUP

Clinical Director: Syed Gilani

Operations Director: Matthew Pomeroy

Head of Nursing: Tara Laybourne

Acting Clinical Lead for Emergency Medicine

Dr Wayne Kissoon

We are a leading Trust for use of technology. We are introducing electronic bed management and benefit from real-time reporting of up-to-date information for every patient, plus point of care testing. We have a specialist intravenous access team within in our emergency departments.

The Trust has 24/7 access to CT and stroke thrombolysis, and benefits from interventional radiology services in our sister hospital at Canterbury. The Emergency Department at the William Harvey Hospital is an accredited Trauma Unit and the regional pPCI centre. The trust is one of the highest performing trusts in the UK (TARN data), and part of the South East London, Kent and Medway (SELKaM) Trauma Network. Both the QEQM and WHH use the SELKaM Trauma Unit protocols and have newly refurbished Resuscitation Rooms which enable continuity for clinicians to work safely between sites. These are highly motivated and focused departments, which prides itself on delivering the highest standards of safe patient care. Clinical governance is central to all that we do; ensuring that patient care, safety and quality are the highest priority.

We have recently secured £6.42m in national funding for new observation wards at both departments and are investing significantly in medical, nursing and support staff throughout the emergency floor, including specialist paediatric nursing. As a result, an exciting opportunity has arisen for a Consultant in Emergency Medicine to join our dynamic and innovative Emergency Medicine team that are passionate about ‘making a difference’ every day. The posts offer a unique opportunity for successful applicants to be actively engaged in service design and innovation.

We firmly believe that developing our staff is key to success; we have a dynamic and progressive training and development ethos, which includes a variety of leadership development programmes, sessions for sub-speciality interests in other departments or Trusts (e.g. simulation, HEMS, Paediatric, Acute medicine, etc), time and funding for MBA, MSc or other qualifications. Allocated time for internal/external research and teaching (especially ALS, APLS, ATLS). Our department is inspired to become the research unit of Kent in Emergency medicine. We are currently a research active centre, which run NIHR portfolio research projects. At EKHUFT we will support you with your individual clinical interests to help you reach your full potential

Our Emergency department falls within the wider Urgent and Emergency Care

Group which includes the medical specialties of Emergency medicine and Acute

medicine. This reinforces the concept of Emergency Floor operation.

Urgent and emergency care services incorporate the Emergency Departments,

Medical Assessment Units and Ambulatory Care Units. Each site has a dedicated

ambulatory care unit with well-established pathways and acute physician led hot

emergency ambulatory care clinics.

THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT

Our vibrant Emergency Departments at William Harvey Hospital, Ashford, and

Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital, Margate, offer an exciting and

supportive environment for ambitious professionals who are passionate about

emergency care and want to work at the top of their game.

The Emergency Departments (EDs); one at the William Harvey Hospital (WHH),

Ashford and the other at the Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQMH),

Margate, each offer a full 24 hour emergency service. The Emergency Care Centre

(ECC) at the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, Canterbury, has a 24 hour nurse-led

minor injuries unit and GP led minor illness service.

Our Emergency Departments provide innovative and fast paced integrated emergency care

to a wide range of patients from East Kent. It is our inspiration to develop into an academic

and research unit in emergency medicine for Kent.

This is an exciting and opportune time to join the Trust as we are implementing a consultant

and specialty doctor expansion programme, which will further support the emergency floor

model of care and also recognises the increasing number of Emergency Department (ED)

attendances annually. The Care Group has been funded for an establishment of 10

Emergency Medicine Consultants in the William Harvey Hospital (WHH) and also 10

Emergency Medicine Consultants at the Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother Hospital (QE).

A 25 doctor middle grade and 8 junior doctor rota has been developed, which will

have junior and senior speciality doctors. This will provide a consistent level of cover

across the seven days with improved handover and cover in the evenings and

overnight.

The emergency care model will reinforce collaborative working between emergency

and acute physicians. Pathways for all specialties are being reviewed and developed

so that patients are able to flow through the ED.

The Trauma unit at WHH is one of the highest performing units in the UK (TARN

data) and is part of the South East London, Kent and Medway (SELKaM) Trauma

Network. Both the QEQMH and WHH use the SELKaM Trauma Unit protocols and

have newly refurbished Resuscitation Rooms which enable continuity for clinicians to

work safely between sites.

These are highly motivated and focused departments, which prides themselves on

delivering the highest standards of safe patient care. Clinical governance is central to

all that we do; ensuring that patient care, safety and quality are the highest priority

WHH also provides the primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) service for

Kent and receives all the out-of-hospital-cardiac-arrests (OOHCA). It has excellent

links with the helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS).

We are currently developing the research activities of the departments and are involved in

NIHR projects.

The departments are in the second year of a 3 year programme to implement the Advanced

Clinical Practitioner role and our Consultants are a pivotal part of that development,

providing clinical supervision and mentorship to the trainees. Additionally we offer a

development programme for aspiring Consultants and would welcome applications from

candidates with experience of supervising developing doctors and/or are looking to become

FRCEM/MRCEM Examiners.

A specialty doctor teaching and development programme has been developed to

enable specialty doctors to progress to consultant posts via Article 14 which includes

secondments to Intensive Care, Paediatrics and Acute medicine. All consultants are

involved in this programme, providing mentorship, supervision and support.

In total approximately 220,000 patients are seen annually across the Emergency

Floor with a seasonal increase due to tourist influx, of up to approximately 270

patients per day in the summer months. There is an established service to enable

the majority of minor injuries to be seen and treated by nurse practitioners.

This is a highly motivated and focused department, which prides itself on delivering

the highest standards of safe patient care. Clinical governance is central to all that

we do; ensuring that patient care, safety and quality are the highest priority.

We would like to invest in you and in our service by supporting you with:

Flexible job planning Sessions for sub-speciality interests in other departments or Trusts (e.g.

simulation, HEMS, Paediatric, Acute medicine, etc.) Time for internal and external research Time for internal and external teaching (especially ALS, APLS, ATLS) Supporting your individual clinical interests

If you are a dynamic and innovative consultant who can play your part in shaping our

reputation for excellence in emergency medicine, we want you on our team.

We are a flexible Trust that offers post holders the opportunity to join our existing

consultant body on either the William Harvey Hospital (WHH) or Queen Elizabeth,

the Queen Mother Hospital (QEQMH), or work across both sites.

Our Consultants currently work a rota that is based on a 12 PA job plan, encompassing

rotating shifts through the week to ensure on site Consultant cover between 8am to 10.00pm

on weekdays and a one in seven weekend commitment ensuring 8 hours of onsite

Consultant cover at the weekends. The job plan agreed with existing consultants has a very

favourable working pattern with shifts varying between 7 and 9 hours each day. PA’s are

calculated at 3hrs per PA for hours worked by Consultant during 1900-2200 weekdays and

all weekend hours. Weekly rota includes a day off during the week (Mon-Fri)

The standard 10 PA job plan would include 7.5 DCC and 2.5 SPA as per National terms and

conditions. Consultants opting to work as 12 PA job plan are provided with a total of 3 SPA

and 9 DCC sessions per week. 1 of the SPA’s are allocated for special interest

development off site. Our current special interest consultants have 2 - 4 PAs dedicated to

their special interest (i.e. critical care / PHEM /PEM). We aspire to expand our pool of

special interest consultant to widen our departmental expertise.

We would like to invest in you and in our service by supporting you with:

Flexible job planning Sessions for sub-speciality interests in other departments or Trusts (e.g.

simulation, HEMS, Paediatric, Acute medicine, etc) Time for internal and external research Time for internal and external teaching (especially ALS, APLS, ATLS) Supporting your individual clinical interests

We are a flexible trust and able to offer bespoke job plans to ensure your clinical special

interest are fulfilled. Our departments are very closely linked with acute medicine, frailty

service, Paediatric, intensive care team and KSS Air ambulance, a job plan across different

specialties is feasible.

Take your place in our dynamic and friendly department, and you will take the lead in

developing the service so we continue to deliver excellence. We’re a forward-looking trust,

so you’ll have the chance to collaborate with colleagues from specialist services. What’s

more, you’ll be encouraged to develop your own interests in line with the department’s

requirements and the current range of activities.
